Two capacitance of 6\(\mu\)F and 8\(\mu\)F are connected in series. What additional capacitance must be connected in series with this combination to give a total of 3\(\mu\)F

A.

3\(\mu\)F

B.

16\(\mu\)F

C.

24\(\mu\)F

D.

30\(\mu\)F

Correct answer is C

3 = \(\frac{6 \times 8 \times c}{(6 \times 8) + (6 \times c) + (8 \times c}\)

therefore, C = 24\(\mu\)F

If the angle of declination in a place is 10°E, calculate the true geographic bearing if the compass reads N40°E

A.

N50oE

B.

N40oE

C.

N30oE

D.

N25oE

Correct answer is A

The true declination is calculated by adding the reading of compass bearing to the declination at that place.

= N40°E + 10° = N50°E

A pool of water appears to be 1.0m deep when viewed vertically from above. If the refractive index of water is 1.33, what is the actual depth of the pool?

A.

0.750m

B.

1.013m

C.

1.330m

D.

13.3000m

Correct answer is C

n = \(\frac{\text {real depth}}{\text{apparent depth}}\)

1.33 = \(\frac{\text {real depth}}{1}\)

real depth = 1.33cm
